CreateIT - digital solutions since 2012

CreateIT was founded in Riga in 2012. We started out building websites and, as our clients' projects broadened, expanded into e-commerce, mobile apps, business systems, AI solutions, branding, marketing and cybersecurity. Technology changes, but the requirement stays the same - what we build has to be justified, maintainable and easy to understand, even after handover.

We work both on new builds and on existing projects, which we take over and continue developing. Our experience includes company websites and online stores, digital services for central and local government, system integrations, and projects where availability, security and performance under heavy load are essential.

Our approach

We start a project by establishing what needs to be done, where things stand and what the constraints are. As the work progresses, we show you what has been done so far and agree the key decisions while they can still be changed without an unnecessary rebuild. We also take over existing projects - first we review the code, the infrastructure and the critical problems, then we agree how to get the project in order and develop it further.

What you can expect from us

A few principles that guide our technical and commercial decisions:

  • We do not guarantee results we cannot control, such as a specific position on Google. We set out the work we can deliver and measure.
  • Before development starts, we agree the scope of work, phases, timeline, pricing model and responsibilities. If the whole project is not yet defined in enough detail, we start with a discovery phase or a first development phase.
  • We do not recommend custom development just because we can build it. If a maintainable off-the-shelf option will do the job, we assess that route too.
  • Under our project terms, the delivered project code remains with the client. For each project, we set out what the handover covers and what documentation is needed.

Seven service areas

CreateIT's services fall into seven areas, which we can combine in a single project, depending on what it needs:

  • Web development. Websites, online stores, custom development, project takeovers and long-term maintenance.
  • Mobile apps. iOS and Android apps for customers, employees and business processes.
  • AI solutions. AI agents and chatbots, process automation, integrations and consultancy.
  • Business systems. Custom systems, integrations and business process digitalisation.
  • Branding. Logos, brand identity and packaging design.
  • Marketing. SEO, AI search optimisation, advertising campaigns, content, email and conversion rate optimisation.
  • Cybersecurity. Security audits, authorised penetration testing, social engineering, assumed breach testing and attack simulation.

Frequently asked questions

How big is the CreateIT team?
We work as a team that brings together the expertise each project needs. We do not use team size as a selling point - what matters more is who is responsible for the project and how the work is organised.
Do you only work with Latvian companies?
No. We are based in Riga and work remotely, so the country you are in makes no difference. We run projects in English or Latvian. We also build multilingual websites, online stores and other systems for use in several markets.
Can you take over a project another developer has abandoned?
Yes. We first review the existing system, its code and its infrastructure, identify the critical problems and only then plan the takeover. We have experience with existing WordPress, Drupal and Laravel projects, among others.
